To be fair, that is the most critical part of the procedure.

Let’s just say you started this “attitude” thing by pretty much belittling anyone that didn’t want to do this recall repair on their own. For myself I’m not as handy as some and frankly even if I was I’m not going to take a chance on screwing something up and give Harley an excuse to give me any **** or worse yet me f’ing up a 20 some thousand $ bike when I can have it done for free at a dealer.
So mind your own business, I’m sure you have a lot to take care of

I was not belittling anyone, was just mentioning it was easy to do. Whatever floats your boat,

I'm a bit lazy and stingy too, so if someone can do it for me for free, no hesitation...

Seems to me like he was just keeping it real. It's OK if you don't have the skills to change a bolt, no need to trash mouth those of us that can.

Not sure which comment is considered belittling, but shame on you for trying to help and assuming it would not be belittling. LOL
